Abstract
This report describes an approach to building a cohort of students in a graduate software engineering program supported by the NSF S-STEM scholarship. We used many agile principles for building and sustaining the cohort, which is scaffolded around the students' academic studies and their simultaneous work on an externally sourced software development project. We discuss how the agile principles were applied in practice in this S-STEM project, how they helped build a cohesive student cohort, and how they helped bring the software development project to a successful completion. This report describes the work in progress, which is limited in scope by the software project duration and the number of participants.
